Psychotherapy (or, as it is sometimes called, counseling or talk therapy) is a relationship process focused on helping a person who seeks out a counselor to assist them in seeking relief from a painful situation like a death, divorce, relationship struggle, anxiety, or depression. A counselor will work with an individual, couple, family or group to help make a positive change in their life.

Psychotherapy is both science and art. It is an opportunity for an individual, couple, or family to talk about what is happening in the present. The therapist joins them in this process and facilitates new ways of understanding and relating with self, others and God. In talking together we can learn new ways that in turn can lead us to deeper self understanding and better relationships with others and the world around us. The focus of the change is on is on the healing or growth desired by those receiving the counseling.  A goal is to help people to recognize and accept their own internal worth. This process enables people to express themselves in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment. We value the connection of a counseling office and the ministry of the local church. Having a safe environment will allow the person to identify, sort-out, and clarify their "stories", and identify  more helpful patterns of behavior or relationships.
